2 or 3 packets of finest beef mince
2 or 3 packets of stewing steak
Lots of fresh kidney and liver

  How many people are you feeding with 4Kg of meat?

[tigers_gonads]

Me, the missus and lad 

Normally get a good 6 or 7 plates out of it.
Any spare goes in some home made meat pies if the dog doesn't get hi paws on it first 

[AndyRoid]

I kinda agree, but we are miles ahead of the cheese eating surrender monkeys. You need a chainsaw for their finest steak.

That explains why they see it as an insult if you ask them to cook it anything above rare.

Go to Brasil and eat a steak......then eat another....then eat lots more.

You will never get one as good here. 

Not even the US get close 

Have to totally disagree, sorry have worked in the meat trade catering side i might add for over 40 years. Working in Bristol but serving Hotels and restaurants as far a field as London and Yorkshire. We sell steak from all over the world Brazil Argentina the USA and of coarse Great Britain. South American meat is tender but generally its flavorless. Good meat comes at a price but even then nothing is guaranteed, and of coarse it helps if the cook is good at there job.

Ah....the voice of reason. Spoilt bastards is what they are. I just eat what I get, which I usually have to cook myself. If I go out and order steak, then I expect it to be a lottery, so I usually don't (order steak).

Agreed. About one steak in every ten is tender. Most are like rubber.

Yep, and, if that's what you ask for, they select you a ropey bit, rather than "waste" a nice cut.

I think your missing the point.

I cant get a good steak here (god have I tried), even south American meat here is not up to south American meat in south America. 

[Webby the Bear]

What's all this talk of not getting a good steak here?

We have the best butchers in the world if people care to use them... quality meat... but of course you have to pay for it.

However, I went to Texas few years back and cow I had in Fort Worth was the best ever. Ever.

Ah maybe i am blessed being in the trade but i dont skimp when it comes to my steaks, just wipe its ass and cut its horns of !!

A good steak doesn't need a steak knife. There's a place in Spain where the knifes are very blunt.

I'm not telling you where, I shall eat it all myself, thankyou very much.

Last time I was there (2001) I apparently "insulted" the chef in the eaterie we were in because I sent it back twice and asked them to cook it properly, due to the fact it was so rare that "Old McDonald" was still milking the bastard. It wouldn't surprise me to find they spat on or similar on the third go, but that more than likely gave it a bit of body to be honest.

That be south of the equator. Us country boys don't like straying too far from our sheep and goats...

I've had some pretty reasonable steaks in Spain...  ...and some really crap ones. Much as here really, only here, price isn't necessarily a guide to how good a steak will be.

I agree about the knives. Obviously I would, seeing as I try not to use a knife

5 of us had lunch at the Argentinian Steak House near St Pauls today. 12 oz Churasco de Lomo each. Absolutely first class and not a complaint in sight.
